Brilio.net - In communicating, both verbally and in writing, the use of appropriate language is very important. Indonesian, as the national language, has certain rules that must be followed so that the message conveyed can be understood correctly and effectively by the reader.
One important aspect of language use is the difference between standard and non-standard words. Understanding this difference not only helps in improving language skills, but also strengthens overall communication skills.
Standard words are words that have been regulated in an official dictionary, such as the Great Dictionary of the Indonesian Language (KBBI). These words follow the applicable grammar and spelling rules. The use of standard words is usually found in formal situations, such as in scientific writing, official reports, and other professional communications. Standard words are identified by several characteristics, such as being in accordance with the rules of PUEBI (General Guidelines for Indonesian Spelling) and being registered in the KBBI.
On the other hand, non-standard words are word forms that are often used in everyday conversation and informal contexts. These words can arise due to errors in pronunciation, writing, or the influence of regional languages and foreign languages. Non-standard words may be easier to understand in the context of everyday conversation, but their use should be avoided in formal contexts to avoid misunderstandings.
The following are 130 examples of standard and non-standard words that can help you understand the differences between the two more clearly.
